Jim had all his usual treatments today without incident – yahoo. He has suffered no significant injury from his fall the other day. Has a bruised bottom complete with the knot you get when you hit hard but he is okay. But don’t worry about the small bumps and bruises as Jim is being well cared for by the excellent nursing staff here.

We had the Professor and his contingent of doctors in this morning. It goes pretty much like a teaching hospital. He has Jim preform some tasks and then lectures. There were 7 or 8 doctors and students here. He speaks a little English. At any rate, he told us that he sees progress in Jim’s reactions. Certainly hope he is correct.
We are watching out our window with great fascination the preparations for the grand opening (tomorrow) of the new market (Lotte Mart) across the street. They have banners flying from the buildings, huge balloons complete with long red stringers all up and down the street and all around the building. There are many people milling around and many cars on the street – must be dignitary day. Should be even bigger tomorrow. They certainly know how to celebrate. Here is an earlier picture of the Lotte Mart during the construction phase.

They just brought in a Korean television crew to interview Jim. They wanted to know why he was here and how he discovered this place. Said they would get us a tape. Interesting.
There is a couple here from India. She speaks a little English. Twice a day she makes these wonderful looking “breads” as she calls them . Looks very much like small tortillas. She fries them in a frying pan. I told her I would like to make some at home. She is going to give me lessons this afternoon. My counted cross stitch is getting boring. Will welcome the change.
